Compared with the hustle and bustle in the front yard, the main hall located deep in the Zhu family seems extremely quiet.
Standing in front of the stone steps and looking at the slightly dilapidated hall gate, Cao Guangting's heart was ups and downs, and beads of sweat oozing from his forehead without realizing it.
"Old Cao, I, Zhu Changxing, is not an unreasonable person. Your daughter joins my Zhu family, which will definitely be good for your Cao family. As a result, if you don't cherish it, you have to play tricks with me, then there is nothing you can do. I'll see you later.
Our old man, let's see how you explain it." Looking at Cao Guangting's trembling arms, Zhu Changxing sneered.
Cao Guangting smiled bitterly and quickly explained: "Old Zhu, please believe me. This is not my idea, but Wenrui is good at making suggestions. Besides, even if I give me ten courage, I dare not plot against the old man.
”
While he said, he hurriedly looked at Zhu Changxing and said anxiously: "Old Zhu, for the past friendship, please help me speak a few good words in front of the old man."
"Haha, what kind of person is our old man? How can we listen to me?" Zhu Changxing snorted coldly.
Without waiting for Cao Guangting to respond, he continued, "The same thing is true. My family and your Cao family have no grudges. If it is absolutely necessary, our old man will not touch you. As for the result, it depends on your performance.
.”
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu, I will tell the truth and promise to give the old man a satisfactory answer." Cao Guangting nodded like pounding garlic, his tone was extremely sincere.
There is no way. For a warrior like him in the internal energy stage, the Zhu family is like a heavenly existence, and he dare not hesitate at all.
What he was most worried about now was Cao Wenrui. He always felt something was wrong, and it seemed that things were not as simple as the other party said.
But he couldn't quite understand the specificity.
"Come in." Just as Cao Guangting was thinking, an old voice suddenly came from the dilapidated gate.
The voice was a little hoarse and gave people a feeling of weakness, as if it was from an old man.
But when he heard it in Cao Guangting's ears, it was like thunder on the ground, which scared him so much that he trembled involuntarily.
Because he knew that the owner of the voice was a person who looked at the entire Nanzhong Province and was at the peak. He could easily kill him in the blink of an eye.
The most important thing is that he still doesn't know what he will encounter next.
Thinking of this, his already trembling arms immediately shook even more intensely. The intense fear from the unknown made him feel like he was about to suffocate.
"Old Cao, stop thinking about it, go in quickly." Zhu Changxing didn't care much about Cao Guangting's expression change, but just frowned slightly and reminded in a low voice.
Cao Guangting couldn't help but be stunned, then nodded immediately, then quickly landed his hand on the door and slowly pushed the door open.
Just as the door opened, a strong smell of blood immediately came to my face.
Because he was already extremely nervous, the sudden bloody smell made Cao Guangting's eyes dark and he almost fainted.
He bit his tongue lightly, barely calmed his mind, and then slowly walked towards the hall.
Seeing this, Zhu Changxing, who was standing behind Cao Guangting, gave a few instructions to his subordinates standing aside, and hurriedly followed him.
Although it was already noon, the hall was extremely dim, with only a few faint light coming from a few windows above.
Even so, Cao Guangting could still see the furnishings in the hall clearly.
The layout of the hall was extremely simple, except for a desk in the center and a few chairs, there was no other furniture.
Seeing this scene, Cao Guangting couldn't help but wonder. He didn't understand where the bloody smell in the hall came from.
Just as he was hesitating, his eyes were suddenly attracted by the paintings hanging on the walls on both sides.
Each of the hanging paintings is a beautiful and naked girl. Although she looks different, she is basically the same age.
The most important thing is that every painting is lifelike, like a real person.
"No." Until I saw the fifth painting, Cao Guangting's expression suddenly froze, and his eyes almost glared out.
Because he discovered that those so-called hanging paintings were simply human skins, and the bloody smell was emitted from the human skin.
Seeing this scene, Cao Guangting felt a chill that quickly surged from the top of his head and his legs became even more weak.
Even though he was a warrior, he always regarded human life as a mustard, but when he saw this scene, his scalp was still numb.
He was not sympathizing with the young girls, but he suddenly realized a question: Will his daughter end up like this in the future?
"Are you Cao Guangting?" Before Cao Guangting could come back to his senses, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind the confession.
Immediately afterwards, a figure wearing a black robe and disheveled hair slowly walked out.
Because the hall was too dark, Cao Guangting could not see the appearance of the black shadow, but he could still feel the rich chill emitted from the other party's body.
He didn't dare to hesitate at all, but immediately saluted the black shadow respectfully, and then replied: "Reply to senior Zhu, I am Cao Guangting."
"Where is she?" the dark shadow asked again.
"She..." Faced with the pressure that was so powerful that he could not breathe, Cao Guangting did not dare to hide it at all, and immediately explained what had happened before.
Without waiting for the shadow to respond, he hurriedly continued: "My senior, please don't worry, I will ask Wenrui to send your little girl to you."
"No need." The black shadow waved coldly.
Then, he turned to look at Zhu Changxing who was standing aside, and ordered in a deep voice: "Bring me that junior named Cao Wenrui."
"Senior, you..." Cao Guangting's heart skipped a beat when he heard the black shadow's words, and his body trembled involuntarily.
He knew that the other party was obviously going to attack Cao Wenrui.
Although he was more or less dissatisfied with his nephew, the other party was his second brother's only bloodline after all, and he could not sit idly by.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly wanted to plead for the other party, but before he could speak, he was shocked by the strong murderous aura of the black shadow. He could not say a word.
He had no doubt that if he dared to say one more word at this moment, it would not only be Cao Wenrui, but also his entire Zhu family would be destroyed.
After a while, he could only pray in his heart, so that the other party could show mercy.
Zhu Changxing did not care about Cao Guangting's thoughts, but responded very respectfully and hurried out to the door...
